Know thou that every created thing is a sign of the
revelation of God. Each, according to its capacity, is, and will ever remain, a
token of the Almighty. Inasmuch as He, the sovereign Lord of all, hath willed
to reveal His sovereignty in the kingdom of names and attributes, each and
every created thing hath, through the act of the Divine Will, been made a sign
of His glory. So pervasive and general is this revelation that nothing
whatsoever in the whole universe can be discovered that doth not reflect His splendor.
- Bah’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
